Gunsmoke: Parson Comes to Town (1966)
Clarendon,Texas
Clarendon,Texas is a true Texas town. It is located approximately 60 miles East of Amarillo,Texas on Highway 287. Shortly after Clarendon was founded it was nicknamed Saints Roost due to the many Churches. When the railroad came through the Texas Panhandle the citizens relocated Clarendon approximately 7 miles to be closer to the railroad. I was excited when at the opening scene of this episode showed a sign being put up with the name Clarendon,Texas painted on it. Why would that excite me & how do I have this knowledge of Clarendon? I was born,raised & have spent the better part of my 64 years in Clarendon. As a matter of fact I am sitting in Clarendon,Texas this very minute writing this. I hope you don't mind me taking up your time. I just felt the need to brag a little on my hometown.
